Know Our Names 2023

Join artist Pamela Leung at Art Space on The Concourse and step into the world of Chinese calligraphy and connect with a rich cultural tradition. Using brushes, ink and printmaking techniques such as silk screening and mono printing onto delicate rice paper, you'll learn how to write your name in beautiful Chinese characters.

But there's something special!

With the help of smart AI technology, we'll also change your name into the sounds of Cantonese, making it even more unique. Join us to explore art, language, and who you are.

Join this free drop in workshop at any time between 11am and 3pm. This workshop is suitable for both children and adults.

About the Artist

Pamela Leung is a Sydney-based artist who was born in Hong Kong and holds a Master of Fine Art from the National Art School.

She challenges cultural narratives surrounding complex themes such as identity, immigration, and cultural hybridity. Leung's use of red as a symbolic representation of different perspectives and a unifying force is a striking feature of her work, inviting viewers to move beyond cultural differences and embrace shared humanity.

Leung has exhibited in group exhibitions globally and held solo exhibitions in Hong Kong, Sydney, Paris, London and Sheffield. She has completed artist residencies in the UK, Taiwan, and Australia, and her work is held in the Casula Powerhouse Art Centre and private collections in multiple countries.
